started a business with the idea of doing software but now that all the paperwork is filed it's dawning on me that I have no idea how to actually run a software business or what I'm actually going to provide as a value proposition in order to make money....

>>109522727Anon, anybody can vibecode nowadays.Even MicroJeet does it (hence windows 11 is bottom line unusable)Go into SecOps/ IT. Swallow the Cert Pill.
>identify weaknesses in business models and production processes>SWOT analysis (you are small, that means you can pivot faster, you can evolve faster)>write mission and vision>develop an MVP (a small, working prototype)>do what startups do: seek funding in Series A, Series B, and Series C rounds>You explain how your business model works, what are you actually solving, what value you render to your clients>present the working prototype, but most importantly, you have to tell a compelling story that appeals to the people listeting to you holding the money you need (that woman from Theranos simply told a compelling story to investors, and knowing the right people opened the doors for her)>Allocate funding>Allocate resources>Turn the prototype into a working service>marketing for the product is a whole other topic>you put a product manager that will lead the development cell>you scrum user stories>set epics, deliverables, actionables>you ship the product in incremental changes>???>PROFITAny questions?
>>109522727hire me to make stuff to combat microslop and then hire other anons to help me maintain it.
>>109523079Do you regard deception and fraud as skills that people way smarter than you have simply failed to master?
>>109522727big mistake. clients will piss you off to no end.
>>109523260Business continuity is based in the establishing of mutual trust. Deception and Fraud are detrimental to the growth and preservation of wealth.
>>109523448Yes. I see. We are a family and such. That is why we are offering you valuable consideration in the form of Non-qualified Stock Options (NSOs) that become fully vested and purchasable over your next 5 years of service.We also encourage referrels so that you as an entreployee can help your personal network join this amazing opportunity to get in at the ground floor on building generational wealth.Are you willing to work weekends as needed? For emergencies only of course.
>>109523561Every employee should receive stocks enforced by law. And if is not possible, an equivalent instrument.
>>109522757I started a software business. This year I got a contract and made a couple sales. I don't use LLMs and my product is licensed AGPL. I can't quit my job yet, but I've made thousands of dollars doing what retards would say is impossible (now they'll say "it can't scale"). I am so relieved that if I get laid off I have something to do besides spam resumes.The hard part of a business is not writing code.
>>109523079When did "maximizing profits for the investors" become the montra of Corporations instead of "maximizing value for the customers"?
>>109523716>the hard part of a business is not writing codeyeah, it is selling an honest product that actually exists when all your competitors sell is lies, broken promises, and vaporware. We really need to see more CEOs serving prison time when their company fails to deliver.
>>109523747>yeah, it is selling an honest product that actually exists when all your competitors sell is lies, broken promises, and vaporware. The best thing about selling something useful to people is having actual leverage.
